Hello neighbours
Are you a part of a Neighbourhood Support group in your street? Statistics show that less crime occurs in streets with active Neighbourhood Support groups and neighbours who know eachother fare better in emergencies.
Neighbourhood Support is different from Neighbourly in that we are a separate organisation - we're an affiliate of Neighbourhood Support New Zealand. We are a non-profit and membership is free (and always will be!)
We'll provide you with free advice, training and resources as well as crime reports; emergency preparedness and safety information so you can stay updated and informed.
If you'd like to start or join a group, please reach out to the coordinator at 073761601, email nstaupo@outlook.com or join us online: taupo.getsready.net...

What's your favourite tomato recipe?
Kia ora neighbours. We know your tomato plants are still growing, but we're looking ahead to the harvest already! If you've got a family recipe for tomatoes, we'd love to see it and maybe publish it in our magazine to share with our readers. Send your recipe to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz, and if we use it in the mag, you will receive a free copy of our February 2025 issue.
Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
